“We're also troubled by the fact the IAEA and Iran have reached a side
agreement — whose official text hasn't been released — that spells out
conditions for inspections aimed at establishing whether Iran engaged in
forbidden nuclear activities at a military installation at Parchin. News reports
that the agreement allows Iran itself, rather than the IAEA, to collect evidence
at the site are disturbing. As of now, the facts remain sketchy, but
even the lack of transparency about the arrangements is unacceptable. The
U.S. should press Iran and the IAEA to divulge the details of that agreement and
another that deals with possible military dimensions of past nuclear research.”

Weighing The Iran Nuclear Deal: Far From Perfect, But The Alternatives Are
Worse,” Los Angeles Times, 8/30/15)

“Obama is selling his deal as both foolproof and as a tool for punishing
Iran, including militarily, for violations. In fact, the agreement includes
no standards for measuring whether breaches are major or minor and what the
responses should be.” (“Schumer’s
Bravery,” New York Daily News, 8/22/15)

WALL STREET JOURNAL: “In other words, the country that lied
for years about its nuclear weapons program will now be trusted to come clean
about those lies. And trusted to such a degree that it can limit its
self-inspections so they don’t raise ‘military concerns’ in Iran.”(“Iran’s
Secret Self-Inspections,” Wall Street Journal, 8/19/15)

“The news raises further doubts about a nuclear pact that is already
leaking credibility. Unfettered access to Parchin is crucial to
understanding Iran’s past nuclear work, which is essential to understanding how
close Iran has come to getting the bomb. Without that knowledge it’s impossible
to know if Iran really is a year or more away from having the bomb, which is the
time period that Mr. Kerry says is built into the accord and makes it so worth
doing.” (“Iran’s
Secret Self-Inspections,” Wall Street Journal, 8/19/15)

ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL: “The Iran nuclear deal was already of
questionable value because it unlocked billions of dollars the rogue nation
could use to further its terroristic ambitions and allowed such a huge window of
time for inspections of suspicious sites that any checks and balances were
rendered near meaningless. What happened to inspections ‘anytime, anywhere’?
What happened to independent oversight? But the recently revealed side
agreement between Iran and the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy
Agency that allows Iran to conduct its own inspections of its own Parchin
nuclear site, long suspected of being used to develop nuclear arms, makes a
strong case that the deal is unacceptable.” (“Editorial:
Secret deal Makes Iran Nuclear Pact Less Appealing,” Albuquerque Journal,
8/22/15)

“So, no sanctions. Iran can inspect itself. And a boatload of money is
coming Iran’s way that could help finance terrorism and anti-U.S. activities.
And this is a good thing for the U.S. and its allies? The pact was already of
doubtful value. In light of the new revelations, supporters in Congress,
especially Udall and Heinrich, should reconsider their support for this
President Obama vanity project and gin up the courage to vote against this
faulty agreement and call for both sides to go back to the table.” (“Editorial:
Secret deal Makes Iran Nuclear Pact Less Appealing,” Albuquerque Journal,
8/22/15)

“Obama has presented Congress with a false choice, suggesting that
the only option to this deal is war. How about resuming negotiations and
hammering out a better deal? Of particular concern are the limits on
international inspectors’ access, and the fact that Iran could retain a
‘breakout’ period of one year to produce enough fissile material for a nuclear
weapon. That’s not good enough.” (“Editorial:
Make The Iran Nuclear Deal Better, But Don’t Scrap It,” Dallas Morning
News, 8/29/15)

NEW YORK POST:“What does Syrian despot Bashar al-Assad know
that President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry don’t — or that they
won’t admit? Simply this: Their nuclear deal will leave Iran in a much
stronger position. In an interview Tuesday with the Hezbollah terrorists’
Al-Manar TV network, Assad — who last month hailed the deal as ‘a great victory
for Iran’ — said it would strengthen Tehran internationally, and so help him.
(“Everyone
But Team Obama Knows The Big Winner From The Iran Deal,” New York Post,
8/26/15)PROVIDENCE JOURNAL: “President Obama’s Iran nuclear deal, even in
the outline initially revealed to the American people, seemed to substitute
appeasement for firmness against an enemy that supports terrorism while vowing
to annihilate Israel and attack the United States. It is not surprising that
polls show a majority of Americans oppose the deal. But a frightening
report by the Associated Press last week cannot help but further erode the
public's trust in the president’s position. The AP discovered a secret side deal
with a U.N. agency that will permit Iran, rather than the watchdog agency, to
conduct inspections of a site where it was said to be developing nuclear
weapons. In essence, the side deal may permit the fox to guard the hen house
at one site.” (“Editorial:
Trusting Iran?,” Providence Journal, 8/23/15)[CALIFORNIA] PRESS-ENTERPRISE: “We’d like to know if Mr. Obama
knew about the secret agreement between the IAEA and Iran. If he didn’t, it
makes us wonder what other side agreements he didn’t know about before bestowing
his presidential blessing upon the deal. And if he did, we think withholding
such pertinent information from Congress should be a deal-breaker for
Republicans and Democrats alike.” (“Editorial: Did
U.S. Know About Iran Side Deal?,” Press-Enterprise, 8/28/15)
